my name is Sebastian Freitag and I am currently working on a software
development project that will have a railML component. Mr. Kolmorgen
pointed me to this group and I am happy to participate.

Let me describe our project a little bit: We are developing a SaaS
solution that allows to gather information from users to support train
operation and maintenance. In order to implement rich and easy input
forms for mobile app users and browser users, the tool will be able to
import railML data for context. This will allow drop-down UI elements,
selectors and all the fancy easy stuff and limit error-prone free text
input to an absolute minimum. This project is for a industry customer. I
will not disclose the customer here, maybe he will introduce himself in
a later stage and I do not want to take that away from him.

To give you an idea about my personal and professional background - I
have a Diploma in Computer Science and my studies focused on theoretical
computer science and math. During my about 10 years of professional
activity I suffered some exposure to web IT tech, mobile distributed
systems, car IT, test automation and databases. Currently I work as
project leader and do not get to program as much as I would like to. I
currently work in Munich, Germany.

It is not yet clear which topic (infrastructure, rollingstock, timetable
or xml-stuff) will be most interesting for my company and me. But I hope
this group will be a good place to leave feedback (for the coordinators)
and to ask questions (to everyone).

German group members may find and add me on xing, anyone may contact me
about railML topics by mail if so desired.

A warm welcome in the railML community and good speed for developing your
railML interface.
Do not hesitate to ask question if you don't find a solution in railML's
wiki pages (http://wiki.railml.org).
